The great Lionel Pickering was looking for a new manager for the Rams. He picked up the phone to the Chief Executive of the League Managers Association.
"I need a manager. Who is the best man for the job out out all the managers in your union?" said the newspaper mogul.
"I am." Said The Chief.
He was right. He was the best man for the job.
Great Owner + Great manager = Great results.

A nostalgic one for me here, as it was in the Smith era that I first started to follow Derby (my age is, erm, not too well hidden in my user name). My first memory was the Palace game on ITV, we were round at my Grandma's and it was on. Then I got majorly into football with Euro 96 and the first Prem season (Me? A Gloryhunter? Never!) and it's been up and down since then. Wonderful times under Jim Smith, with a great team, a good mix of British and foreign players. Those first three seasons in the Premier League were the best I can remember, although not always perfect. I was 'treated' to a match for my 10th birthday, on a Sunday against Leeds...yup, the one that finished 0-5. Oh well.
